What affects the price in Eversholt
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Eversholt: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Eversholt too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wake. Late-December sunset in Eversholt is about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
